The BBC is now streaming its BBC News 24 news service around the clock on its BBC News website.

"I'm really pleased that the UK's most-watched news channel is now available cross-platform, on TV, online and mobile phones - 24 hours a day," said Kevin Bakhurst, controller at BBC News 24.

By clicking the 'Watch Live' link on the BBC News website you'll be able to watch the latest breaking news.

"Streaming BBC News 24 enhances our commitment to providing news on-demand, allowing people to consume news in the time and format of their choosing whether it's live video streaming, reading an online text story or via Ceefax," said Pete Clifton, head of BBC News Interactive.
